Our Story
We are a no-kill facility, a safe place for abandoned, neglected and abused animals; a temporary home for the homeless; a haven for animals needing healing and care. We also find loving homes for adoptable homeless animals; house strays and reunite them with their families; supply Dog Licensing Services; and educate our Community on the importance of spaying and neutering and humane treatment of all living things. Though Langlade County is part of our name, we are not a county department or agency. We are a privately-funded volunteer-operated not-for-profit animal rescue shelter. As a charitable organization under Section 501(c)3 of the tax code. we rely upon your donations, not your tax dollars, to pay our operational expenses.
In the unfortunate event that an animal arrives at the Shelter so severely sick or injured that our veterinarian, shelter manager and board president agree it would be the humane thing to do, the animal is painlessly euthanized by our veterinarian. This happens to less than 1.5% or the animals we rescue.
We are normally open from 12:00 pm-4:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays. BUT as part of our response to the COVID-19 virus, we are now closed to the public. To meet and greet one of our dogs or cats, to surrender your animal, to turn in a stray you have found or any other business, you MUST call 715-627-4333 to make an appointment! If your cat or dog is missing, please call our shelter and someone will contact you as soon as possible. Note that our staff has been greatly reduced due to funding shortages.
